Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

Infection with Listeria is not common. I know that you are concerned because of the pregnancy. However, you should let your OB doctor or family doctor know if diarrhea persists for some simple works-up. Otherwise, do not worry too much and good luck with your pregnancy.
